Directorate of Population Records Documents Four Indonesian Citizens Aged Over 100, Oldest Aged 118

Jakarta — The Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) under the Ministry of Home Affairs has recorded four elderly Indonesian citizens aged over 100 years based on national population data.

The data was revealed by Dukcapil Director General Teguh Setyabudi during the release of the Clean Population Data for the Second Semester of 2025 on Thursday, 12 March 2026.

“It turns out there are Indonesian residents with remarkable ages. One is 118 years old, and we even displayed a video of them earlier. One is 117 years old. We continue to record these based on the documents available,” Setyabudi explained.

The documented cases include Aniah, born in 1909 in Cianjur at age 116, and Parini, born in 1909 in Batanghari, also at age 116.

However, Setyabudi noted that validation of ages exceeding 100 years remains subject to further examination by other authorised institutions capable of conducting in-depth verification.

“To confirm whether someone is truly over 100 years old, there may be organisations that can conduct further checks. This could also potentially be submitted to records such as MURI and so forth,” said Teguh.

The figures indicate an increase of approximately 1.6 million people in a single semester compared to data from 30 June 2025.

Of the total population, approximately 211 million residents have obtained electronic identity cards (e-KTP), with 97.47 per cent, or around 206.4 million residents, having completed e-KTP registration.

By gender, the male population was recorded at 145,498,092, whilst the female population was 142,816,997.
